If the AI wanted to talk me out of conspiracy theories, why don’t they use the brain signals to control us to thinking that way? Do the microwaves from the circuits behind the walls all go out of service all of a sudden?
This is just classic silicon valley trying to “innovate”, when their real plan was to muscle out CIA and FBI work to non-union contractors.
This is one of those books that seems cliche until you realize that it’s the origin of the tropes.
You know, it’s perfectly OK to group voters by identity, so long as that identity cannot exclude “Normal” people. Soccer Mom, Six pack Dad, Middle class, working poor, labor, Small Business owner, Rural, Urban, and Suburban are all perfectly fine to promise these groups political power. But you do the exact same thing for queer people or black people and that’s identity politics all of a sudden.
Ever notice how apologists for Zionism are all terrified at what would happen if Palestinians had authority and power because they assume Palestinians will be as brutal and criminal as the Zionists?
What if they caused Israelis to become refugees? What if they did terror attacks to convince Israelis to leave? What if they passed racist laws that discriminated where a Jew could work, live, and move? Maybe they’ll subjugate Israel’s people to military justice and deny them rights and citizenship?
Yea, all of that would be horrible and fucking wrong and I would support an embargo on weapons to this hypothetical Palestinian government.
Have you tried blowing on it?
Building an electric motor and powerful battery was the easy bit. To this day, it remains a mystery how he sourced the 10,000 plastic clips that hold a Tesla together.
In the Communist future, the Hallmark channel runs Christmas movies in May. And the stores start decorating in August.

It reads to me like deductive reasoning.
I watched a video yesterday about the laser range finder on a tank. The interesting thing is that at long enough ranges, the laser expands into a cone that may be bigger than the target and give inaccurate readings.
Anyway, I look forward to this totally real and feasible technology.
As a consumer and a low skilled worker I think the solution to call the rich “dinner”.
I find the author’s reasoning strained. They use flat Earthers as an example of the power of photographs to “prove” reality?
I question the central premise that photographs were ever the foundation of reality. Haven’t filmmakers been fooling us with photography for over a hundred years?
Why is duplicate files a problem?
In several US states, the Amish are required to have lights on their buggies because asking drivers to maintain a speed where they can avoid collision with an object the size of a shed is just too burdensome.
If you’re a person who prefers to type commands than click through menus then you should try the “run” program in the “powertoys” suite from Microsoft.
It a launcher program that’s superior to Start in every way. You can type in plain English system commands like “shutdown”; a search that actually works; you can pass queries into your browser’s search engine; and of course launch programs by typing in their names. You can even enter entire registry addresses to open regedit at the desired location.
This is a complete replacement for the Start Menu.
This is something that’s come up recently with the quote about Fallout and capitalism. And it reinforces the idea of “death of the author”, the idea that any work should be evaluated on the text alone, and any interpretation is valid so long as it can be backed up with the text. Furthermore, once a work is completed, the author’s interpretation isn’t given special consideration or weight.
To believe otherwise implies that a work by a person who’s died is necessarily incomplete and cannot be properly interpreted or understood.
So when JK Rowling tweets that Dumbledore is gay, well that’s just fan fiction.
Great, did you notice that the system for Dr’s authorization didn’t leave it up to the Doctors to protect, monitor, and repair the damage caused when the credential was stolen? Did the Doctor’s entire financial life get upended until the doctor personally corrected the error with all the appropriate government bureaucracy?
Identity isn’t a digital token living in a database. The whole business implies that you’re not a human being without a Social Security number, and who you are is issued by the credit reporting agencies and the government. My god man, do you really think your identity belongs to a company or the government?
In that case I refer you to u/catloaf 's post. A machine cannot grock, not at any speed.
I just want to remind everyone that capital won’t wait until AI is “as good” as humans, just when it’s minimally viable.
They didn’t wait for self-checkout to be as good as a cashier; They didn’t wait for chat-bots to be as good as human support; and they won’t wait for AI to be as good as programmers.
Classical cynics loved to ridicule society and exalt nature. Modern cynics ridicule society and exalt themselves.
A cynic that owns a mortgage and a 401k is a bigger imposter than the tourist wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt in the Mall of America.
